Chapter 237: End of text
Half a bathtub full of poisonous tailed scorpion blood turned into a full tank.
Jiang Luo wondered, "Where did the new stuff come from?"
Lu Youyi was just about to answer him, when a breeze swept through the office and Hei Wuchang suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Sai Liaoer was startled by the sudden appearance of Hei Wuchang, and when no one was looking, he bitterly hid under his desk.
Please Black don't see him ooooohhhh.
He really doesn't want to work anymore.
Jiang Luo was caught off guard and was stunned, "Brother Black, what are you doing here?"
Hei Wuchang looks toward Dagger in the bathtub, "I'll take a look at him."
Jiang Luo was overjoyed, "Could it be that Teng Bi can be resurrected?!"
Lu Youyi looks up sharply at Hei Wuchang, breathing heavily, eyes burning.
"Not yet," Hei Wuchang apologized, "but I feel the fluctuations of his soul."
Lu Youyi's eyes dimmed.
Jiang Luo was silent for a while, and asked, "There are soul fluctuations, does it mean it's almost ready?"
Hei Wuchang nodded silently.
Everyone finally cheered with relief.
Hei Wuchang took out the big sword from the blood water, I don't know what kind of material the sword is made of, it falls into the water without being stained by the water, the water beads dripping down from the wall of the sword in a round shape, the black surface of the sword can't reflect the human figure, it is filled with the stern and murderous aura, just like Teng Bi's person.
"When it has absorbed this vat of blood and water to an unabsorbable state, it will be able to take him to the Dragon's Eye on Mount Dawu to look for his body," Hei Wuchang said, "However, this is only a residual soul, and you should know that a residual soul is not a complete set of three souls and seven vampires, and what state Teng Bi will be in when he awakens. No one can say for sure at this time."
But it's nice just to be alive.
Whoever it was, the wish was minimized. As long as they survived.
Lu Youyi took the initiative to take over the task of observing Dagger's absorption of blood water, and every day he had to measure the amount of water in the tank at regular intervals. It was a tedious and meticulous job, but the big-handed Lu Youyi did it incredibly well.
Jiang Luo had expected to see Teng Bi resurrected at New Year's Eve, but until the snow fell, the water in the tank had only gone down by five centimeters.
Early in the morning of the new year, Lu Youyi sleepily got up to measure the depth of the water for the big knife, and halfway through, he yawned and almost dropped the measuring tape into the bloody water. He caught it in a hurry, hemmed and hawed, and scratched his head, ''I slept too late last night, and played games with Jiang Luo and the others all night. Those grandchildren were so thieving that they combined to surround me."
Lu Youyi believes that the remnants of Teng Bi's soul, placed inside the sword, can hear words from the outside world. A remnant of the soul is placed in the knife, and can not move and can not speak, how pitiful and lonely ah. So Lu Youyi insisted on rambling with the big knife every day, and every time he could talk until his mouth was dry.
Lu Youyi dares to say anything, from detailing the flavor of breakfast to gossiping about whose underwear has a hole in it and who fell on his face. Occasionally, he reads out romance novels and idol dramas to Dagger, and he can even perform a live show along with the plot when he talks.
Ye Xun and Jiang Luo accompanied him once in a while to measure the depth of the water, and were so dazzled by Lu Youyi's recitations that they have not been involved in Lu Youyi's and Dagger's ramblings since then.
I don't know if I was equally scared by the nagging, but after the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the speed of the big knife absorbing the blood water was suddenly faster. As spring turned to fall, by the time it was winter again, only a thin layer of blood water remained in the bathtub, and the big knife finally stopped absorbing the blood water.
Hei Wuchang reappeared and nodded as he inspected the greatsword, "It's ready for a try."
The meaning is not tenuous.
Lu Youyi's heart tightened and he couldn't help but look at Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo's face was stoic, "Let's go find Teng Bi's body on Mt. Dawu first, we always have to try."
Lu Youyi immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll go too."
The others followed to speak, but Hei Wuchang shook his head, "The fewer the living, the better, preferably none. He is still weak, and the yang energy will wash over him."
Lu Youyi : "...... Then I'm not going."
He whispered, slowly withdrawing his hand.
Hei Wuchang looked towards Jiang Luo : "You are no longer human, you can go forward. This time, if you want to awaken him, you need one more thing that Teng Bi values, if you don't know, you can ask Chi You."
Jiang Luo decisively said, "I will prepare everything, Brother Black, how about we leave tomorrow?"
Hei Wuchang casually said, "I'm available anytime."
That evening, Jiang Luo asked Chi You about it.
Chi You looked unsurprised and seemed to have expected it, "I had things ready as early as when I found out the date of Teng Bi's death."
Jiang Luo wondered, "What is it?"
Chi You wrapped her arms around him from behind and played with the dark hair on his back, laughing softly twice, "Before Teng Bi saved your life, I asked him what he wanted to do and he shook his head and said nothing. But he initially followed me because I promised him a favor."
Jiang Luo asked, "What are the requirements?"
"Find his soldiers who died in the battlefield and transcend their dead souls, " Chi You said faintly, "Teng Bi was a general in his life, he forgot many things after he turned into the living dead and where those soldiers died, so he begged me to find those of his own soldiers. "
"Teng Bi is actually a general?" Jiang Luo had a feeling of anticipation, "You found it?"
Chi You said, "He saved you, so of course I'll do what I promised."
Jiang Luo's chest was suddenly a little sour.
A friend lost his life for him, and a badly wounded evil spirit did everything he could to return the favor for him.
It's a bit unethical, but Jiang Luo couldn't help but start thanking the original author of Evil Ghost.
*
The next day, Jiang Luo and Chi You traveled to Dawu Mountain.
Jiang Luo always had a subconscious fear of Mount Dawu, and he did not allow Chi You to approach the mountain. Chi You stood far away from the foot of Mount Dawu.
When everything was ready, Jiang Luo and Hei Wuchang went up the mountain.
Chi You stayed at the foot of the mountain and when they found Teng Bi's body, they would try to fuse Teng Bi's body with the remnants of his soul. if the fusion went well, Chi You would use the ghosts of Teng Bi's own soldiers to wake Teng Bi up. as long as Teng Bi opened his eyes, it would mean that the remnants of his soul and his body were mingled together.
However, if they fail, they need to send Teng Bi's body back to the Dragon's Eye again, borrowing the Dragon's Eye's usefulness to ensure that Teng Bi's body does not decay.
After Jiang Luo became more powerful, finding a Dragon's Eye became a lot easier, not to mention having a Hei Wuchang by his side.
They found the place almost as fast as they could, and Jiang Luo violently removed the cave entrance stone with the word spirit and entered the familiar tomb. He found his way to the location of the Dragon Spring, and once again saw the Dragon Spring that almost killed him and Chi You, and Teng Bi lying next to it.
Jiang Luo looked straight ahead and left the cave with Teng Bi in his arms. When he was ready to leave, he handed Teng Bi to Hei Wuchang, "Hei, wait for me for a few minutes."
Hei Wuchang nods.
Jiang Luo smiled at him and lightly destroyed the entire chamber with water.
The ground collapsed and a piece of stalactite smashed into the dragon spring, completely covering it under the earth and rocks and huge waves.
Jiang Luo withdrew the word spirit in satisfaction, "Brother Black, I'm better, let's go."
Hei Wuchang looked at the mess in front of him and began to think about the possibility of recruiting Jiang Luo to work in hell, "Good."
It didn't take much time for them to go back and forth, and when they were far away from Dawu Mountain, Hei Wuchang took out the remnants of the soul in the big sword and put it into Teng Bi's body.
Teng Bi's face was pale, and his lips were iron blue, as if he had just died.
Chi You A cloud of black mist emerged around him, and several ghosts with thin black qi came out from it tremblingly. These ghosts were already extremely weak, with muddled looks, and at a glance it was clear that they had no memory of being alive, nor did they know who they were.
Hei Wuchang stepped forward and gently brushed his fingers from the spirit platforms of a few ghosts, which suddenly restored their clarity as if they had taken an elixir, and their bodies solidified a bit.
When they saw Teng Bi lying on the ground, their eyes widened as if they had seen their relatives, and they pounced on him with tears and laughter.
"General!!!"
"I never thought that I, Wu, would have the day to see General again!"
......
Teng Bi is dying of pain.
Every inch of flesh and every bone on the body hurt as if it had been reawakened to life. It came from all the limbs and bones to the five viscera and six bowels.
There seems to be two forces fighting in the body, one is rejecting the pain, while the other is rejoicing in the pain coming. Teng Bi would drift in and out of consciousness, in a daze, not knowing how long it had been, when he suddenly heard someone's voice coming.
"How did the General ...... wake up after ......"
"...... overtake us ......"
At first, the words were just three or two words, but eventually they became more and more cluttered. Various annoying sounds drilled into his ears, causing Teng Bi to frown hard without realizing it.
Don't talk.
You guys are talking in the wrong voices.
But his displeasure was not communicated; on the contrary, the voices, not knowing what stimulated them, spoke more and more loudly.
Finally, one day, Teng Bi couldn't take the noise any longer and snapped his eyes open, "Stop it!"
"General!!!"
"The General is awake! The General is awake!"
A group of ghosts and shadows suddenly fell down and knelt in front of Teng Bi's bed, each looking at Teng Bi with tears in their eyes.
Teng Bi looked at them expressionlessly and then at his surroundings. The fury in those eyes that had been disturbed by the noise had barely risen before it was suppressed by a heavy blankness.
Where is this place?
What are these black things?
There were footsteps hurrying outside the door, and Jiang Luo and Chi You pushed their way in to meet Teng Bi's confused look.
Such a look dissolved the coldness of the man's face, and his eyes had a unique focus and silence that reminded Jiang Luo for a moment of a dead ghost when he lost his memory.
He was on his feet for an instant and asked with an odd expression, "Do you remember who I am?"
Teng Bi: "Who are you."
Jiang Luo : "...... fruitful."
The personal soldiers were still talking in tongues, "General, you've finally woken up, you've been making us anxious these days."
"Yes, yes, General, we almost thought you'd never wake up again."
"Bah, how do you talk? The General is blessed with good fortune and will live as long as Mt. Nan!"
Teng Bi silently turned his head to look at his own soldiers and said in confusion, "And who are you."
The personal soldiers instantly froze and said sadly, "General--"
Chi You was tired of the noise of these soldiers and raised his hand to put them away. When Teng Bi saw this, he was nervous for a moment for some reason, and then calmed down again because of Jiang Luo and Chi You. Jiang Luo walked over to Teng Bi and sat down, "Do you remember your name?"
Teng Bi asked, "What is my name?"
Jiang Luo scoffed, "Your first name is Jiao Jiao and your second name is Dead Ghost, which name do you want to be called?"
Teng Bi murmured, "If I had to choose, a dead ghost would be nice."
Jiang Luo sadly said, "Actually, you used to prefer the big name Jiao Jiao."
Teng Bi hesitated, "Really?"
Jiang Luo stifled a smile and said, "Really."
Teng Bi dithered for a moment, but still said, "No, I'm fine with deadbeat."
Jiang Luo laughed twice, he laughed so freely that his eyes were even a little moist. Since Teng Bi's death, this was the first time he had laughed without any gloom.
That's so nice.
It's good that Teng Bi is still awake. It's good to talk to him.
When Teng Bi wakes up, he falls into a long slumber. By the time Teng Bi's state stabilizes a little, half a month has passed, and it's almost New Year's, so Jiang Luo and Chi You rush to take Teng Bi back with them.
And by now, the first snowfall of the year before had boiled over.
Lu Youyi has been restless since Jiang Luo and the others left.
Lu Youyi is not used to the task of measuring the depth of the water for the big knife every morning. He is so distracted by everything he does that he almost cuts off his own fingers when peeling fruit.
So muddled through ten days, Lu Youyi heart more and more anxious, and even began to become desperate.
It hasn't come back in so long, it's probably failed.
When the first snow came down, Lu Youyi, who woke up early, did not know why he was very agitated, his heart beat faster and faster, "fluttering, fluttering", drumming and restlessness at once.
Watching him unable to sit down, the others simply took him out to build a snowman.
But Lu Youyi was not serious about building a snowman, and the wind and snow were so strong that it blew coldly against his head. The more he thought about it, the more he was afraid that Teng Bi would really not survive.
Unconsciously, his surroundings became quiet, but Lu Youyi, who was buried in a snowball, did not notice the change. When someone tapped him on the shoulder, Lu Youyi was startled, and with a cry of "Crap!" he turned around and smashed the snowball into the person's face.
"......"
The tall man who had been pelted with a headful of snowballs fell silent, letting them fall from his face to reveal a face that was incredibly familiar to Lu Youyi.
Lu Youyi stiffened in place, a rush of hot blood rushed up to his head, rushing his mind dizzy, his eyes staring at the person dead in the face, his voice afraid of being too loud to scare the person away, as if he was lightly saying, "Dead ghost?"
Teng Bi was silent for a moment, "Why did you smash me?"
"Hug, sorry, I didn't know it was you who smashed," Lu Youyi was incoherent, he didn't even know what to say, "Am I still awake, deadbeat, you really came back from the dead? Is it really you? It's not my illusion, is it, I, I-"
Teng Bi listened patiently, it was strange, the man said so much, but he didn't feel annoyed. His eyes looked directly at Lu Youyi, who suddenly lost his ability to speak, his eyes reddened and his voice became choked.
"It's really good that you woke up ...... deadbeat."
Teng Bi inexplicably felt uncomfortable when he heard the cries. He interrupted Lu Youyi rustily, "Do you recognize me?"
Lu Youyi's idea of crying with Teng Bi froze, he couldn't keep up his sadness and wiped his nose and looked at Teng Bi worriedly, "Deadbeat, you're not losing your memory again, are you?"
Teng Bi felt as if he was looking at himself with the eyes of a fool.
But on second thought, he didn't know anything, wasn't he just a fool? So Teng Bi nodded his head contentedly, "Right."
Lu Youyi looked at him heartily, "This head of yours is also ill-fated haha. No, since you lost your memory, why did you shoot me?"
Teng Bi said slowly, "Because you look familiar to me and I wanted to ask you if we're friends."
Lu Youyi heatedly laughed, and just as he was about to answer with unquestionable certainty, Teng Bi facepalmed and earnestly said, "You don't have to tell me, I already know the answer."
Lu Youyi was surprisingly nervous, "What's the answer?"
Teng Bi stepped forward and hugged him, "We must be friends."
Lu Youyi almost cried again as he whimpered and patted Teng Bi on the back, "Good brother!"
After the two people separated, Lu Youyi looked at Teng Bi as if he was his son, and seeing that he was wearing too little, he took off the big red scarf around his neck, and brought it to Teng Bi's neck in a bold manner, "Good brother, you've just come back, and I don't have anything good to give you. This is for you to keep warm first, tonight we will have a good reunion dinner!"
The scarf still carries the warmth that belongs to humans, this warmth goes from Teng Bi's neck straight to his heart, Teng Bi smiles unconsciously, "Good, friend."
The two people faced each other and laughed, a few more silly moments gradually added to their smiles. Ye Xun, who was watching from the side against the cold wind, gradually changed his expression from joyful to expressionless, they looked at each other and turned around to walk towards home.
Jiang Luo didn't bat an eye at the two giggling at each other either, pulling Chi You to leave at the end of the line, tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk, "They're killing me with meat."
Chi You smiled meaningfully, "Then it's your turn soon."
Jiang Luo immediately looked back at him, "What do you mean?"
Chi You raised his eyebrows and pulled him forward with his backhand, Jiang Luo looked at him suspiciously, his guard up to the max. He didn't look at Chi You with a good eye, afraid that Chi You would make some kind of scene that would make him die of embarrassment, but as he walked, something suddenly tickled the top of his head.
Jiang Luo raised his hand and touched it, but touched down a budding rose.
The heart of the rose was blushingly muffled by the bright red petals, and a pleasant fragrance came from the light rose scent.
Amidst the wind and snow, the delicate, dew-dripping rose was clearly eerie, Jiang Luo spun the rose and picked up a smile, "From you?"
Chi You said vaguely and indistinctly, "Uh-huh."
Jiang Luo said, "Beauty and the Beast?"
"It's beauty and evil spirits." Chi You said.
As soon as the words fell out of his mouth, the rose in Jiang Luo's hand suddenly wilted rapidly, a piece of gaunt petals fell off, and in the blink of an eye, only the stamen that was gathered in the very center of the rose was left.
A silver ring as crystalline as ice and snow casting lay quietly among the stamens.
Jiang Luo froze and couldn't help but look at Chi You's hand.
It was then that he realized that Chi You's other finger-boned hand, which was resting at his side, had somehow been adorned with a silver ring that glinted at him with a mesmerizing light.
